[@blainemeyers844]

Ray Sharradh only in Cajun Country we play real music !!!

[@nelsong4719]

Beautiful music. Yes I agree "Maison de Pouchon " It is not exclusively American music but the term Cajun is American which originated from Acadian who were French Canadians who brought their music to Louisiana after being deported by the Brits in the Maritimes. What is wonderful it also morphed into Afro American style called Zydeco which originated from the French term "Les Haricots Vert". Also wouldn't it be more forthright to express yourself in English. Tu Comprends ?

[@dwightcole6989]

You just can't stand still listening to this Music, love the Fiddler.

[@charlesmiddleton3247]

May the Universe always shine its Light, Energy, Frequency and Vibrations on the Cajun People and their culture! I celebrate my Grandmother's French Canadian Ancestry (LaLondes) who some of them migrated to Southern Louisiana many, many eons ago. Each and every morning when I wake up I play my uplifting Cajun Music to word off any bad, egotistical negative vibrations. Try it, it works!! Would love to hear from some LaLondes if your out their. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.
